Stogi Speaks the truth here.

It's better to spend an extra day thinking before you start building and make the best decision possible than to commit to a risky design like this and loose a week when it doesn't work.

That being said it's not a bad concept it just might not work for this game. The window motors would put a severe handicap on your speed and may not be robust enough for a robot's drive train.
